They could not answer the question and in ERCURY or quicksilver . metals can be liquid by intense heat. But mercury be is liquid at the usual temperature. : a Lead and iron will float on mercury. This is because of the great weight of mercury. The atoms of which mercury is composed have a very ful attraction for each other, that is why it naturally forms balls ot drops. their ignorance they imagined the worst. In their fear they cried out, “The great God is angry with us and the crack of doom is at hand!” Not so is it with us of to-day. The eclipse does not frighten us, it is Gelightfully interesting to us. Watching the sun or moon passing into the shadow we perceive the \ great truth of the reign of law, the law that never fails and that keeps the ~ great aniverse of which sun, moon and stars are but fragments, in perpetual harmony with itself. From the eclipse we learn the fact that the law never sleeps or becomes ‘weary, never fails to do the right thing at the right time. Millions of years ago the august Voice of Natural Law proclaimed this word: “On May 29, 1919, at Montevideo, or at any one of the other places [ name, and at exactly high noon you will see me throw the shadow of ths moon over tLe face of the sun, where it will rest just 6 minutes and 60 seo- onds,” and those who are there will have it demonstrated to them that the Voice was true. ‘There is absolutely no suoh thing as Chance in the world. The “Mighty Maze,” of which our Solar System is but as a leaf in the forest, is the theatre of the Sublime Order that is “without variableness or shadow of turning.” There is a practical value in this fact, for it is as “true as the gospel” that the order proclaimed in the eclipse includes man as well as the stars 'd planeta, the spiritual as well as the material, and we need to learn that peered down, Sure Granddaddy Longlegs’s BN tes uae ae Cows l|asieep, was the bigg: By Uncle Bill “Po-a-wee, pe-a-wee,” enough thet sprawled one it Granddaddy Longlegs that ever was. “Poke him up!" snickered Frisky. “Make fim run!” NoT AS Long | CAN Buy GASOLENE sang the Pewee bird in a mournful minor Granddaddy opened his eyen wittl such is the case.

It does no good to violate a law of Nature and then turn to prayer for escape from the consequences of the violation. You might as well whistle in the teeth of the wind. ‘This is a time of progress because it is a time of enlightenment. Slowly a but steadily we are coming to understand the laws of things, and more and more we are being blessed by them. The toilers in the laboratories of ecience are discovering the natural laws upon which depend human useful- ness and happiness, and as these discovertes are increased and applied the sum total of human well-being is being enlarged. ‘The Housewife’s Scrapbook throw away the lettuce ANI ? asked WEXT T EUROPE WITH BILL % Ger AN ICE.
